STS kit is almost here
hey all,
about to get into my STS build on my LS3 A6, and was suggested that i look into a carbon fiber driveshaft. Because of there not being many upgrades for the A6 tranny, my tuner says its a great way to easy up some stress on the tranny at the track, and shave some weight. we are planning on anywhere from 650-700 rwhp
just want to hear some thoughts and advice. Is there anything else i should consider to protect my tranny?
BTW, i have ARH w/ 3' pipes no cats, vette doctors turbo/blower specified cam and injectors, dewitts radiator and 160 therm

Call Hinson Motor Sports (205.267.6387). They have the best deal on a CF driveshaft for our cars!
This is DEFINITELY an upgrade you REQUIRE with TT.
I run this driveshaft in both of my cars. It can handle some _serious_ power.

I remember it was less than HALF (said like the old Eddie Murphy skit for effect) of the stock driveshaft weight... HALF! 
It has some crazy torque rating over 2,000 (maybe it was 3?) lbs-ft....
I haven't broken one nor have I seen a broken one yet.
